Zhang Qian said: "I see!" thought to himself, it seems that it is because the power of Radiance City is very strong, and living and cultivating in Radiance City has a great guarantee for the safety of the monks, at least, he is not worried about any powerful demon beast attack.

That's why there are so many monks who are scrambling to live and cultivate in Radiant City, and in this way, there is not enough place in Radiant City, so only those monks who have enough cultivation resources can live in it.

Zhang Qian asked again: "Then what are you collecting spirit ore here for?"

The monk replied: "If we live in Quding Continent, we also have to hand over the spirit mine, otherwise, the strong people of Quding Continent will not protect us! In that case, even if we are killed, no one will take care of us!"

Zhang Qian said: "Oh, I don't understand what you mean, can you give me a detailed explanation?"

The female monk next to her, who had just broken through the Bigu Realm, said: "We live in Qudingzhou, and each person has to pay a hundred spirit crystals to Lord Wuhuang every day, so that Lord Wuhuang will protect us from being bullied by others, because this place in Qudingzhou is Lord Wuhuang's territory!"

"I see!" Zhang Qian said, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is different from the earth, it is a place where the strong are respected, if you survive on other people's territory and are protected by other strong people, you have to pay a certain amount of cultivation resources as a cost for shelter, which is a normal thing.

Zhang Qian saw that these people who collected spirit ores divided each piece of spirit ore into a cubic centimeter size spirit crystal, which should be the standard size of the spirit crystal they had to pay.

But the spirit crystals here are not so easy to collect, if they want to collect enough hundred spirit crystals of this size, with their speed, it will take about half a day.

In other words, they have to spend half a day every day to collect enough spirit crystals, pay the shelter fee, and the rest of the time before they can cultivate or do what they want to do.

Zhang Qian said, "Do I have to pay for such a spirit crystal, can't other cultivation resources work?"

The woman said: "Other cultivation resources are also fine, but this kind of spirit crystal is the universal currency of the Celestial Star, and our strength is too low to dare to enter the forbidden area to find those elixirs or other resources, so we can only collect spirit ore here!"

Zhang Qian nodded and said, "So that's the case! Then can you take a look at this spirit stone in my hand, can it be used to pay for living here?"

After speaking, with a bit of his wrist, he took out a few white spirit stones from the ring and handed one to each of them.

The male monk looked at the white spirit stone that Zhang Qian handed him, and said, "You can also use this kind of spirit stone, but the spiritual power contained in your spirit stone is relatively high, one piece can be exchanged for ten spirit crystals here for us, if you use this kind of spirit stone, you only need to pay ten pieces a day!"

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, can you take me to meet that Lord Wuhuang?" I just came here, I am not familiar with the place, and I need your help, in the future, the daily expenses of the two of you will be covered in me, and I will help you pay for it, how about it?"

He still has a lot of things to ask them to understand, so he plans to stay in this Quding Continent for the time being, figure out some of the situation and rules of the Heavenly Realm Star, and then after cultivating to the Innate Realm, he will leave here and go to Radiant City to have a look.

The reason why Zhang Qian came to the Celestial Star was to quickly improve his cultivation, and on the other hand, he wanted to go to the Star Road, leave the Pangu Forbidden Land, and go to the outer universe, not to stay in the Celestial Star for a long time.

For him, the aura of the Celestial Star is limited, and it is still not enough for him to cultivate to a higher realm, at most he will cultivate to the Yuan Infant in the Celestial Star, and then he will go to the Star Road and pursue a higher realm.

And the Celestial Star is only his first target, he must first figure out the situation here and gain a firm foothold.

After listening to Zhang Qian's words, the pair of male and female monks glanced at Zhang Qian with some surprise, and the male monk said, "Friend, are you telling the truth? Are you sure you have to help us pay for living here every day?"

Zhang Qian said: "Yes, if there are three of us, we only need a total of thirty of these spirit stones every day!"

The nun said: "This is a lot of money, the spiritual power in your spirit stone is relatively high, it is difficult to collect, and you should not have much, if you help us pay for it, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

"Yes!" The man said: "Brother, I see that you are also a generous person, so let's take you to meet Lord Wuhuang and introduce you to him, and we don't need you to help us pay for our housing every day, you can just give our brothers and sisters a little payment, just mean it!"

He also said: "Since you plan to live here in the future, it is better to live with us, and we can take care of each other! I am more interesting to see you, our brother and sister have also lived here for decades, and the situation here is very clear, so I can remind you when the time comes, so as not to suffer a loss!"

"Okay! I can't ask for it, I will depend on you to take care of it in the future!" Zhang Qian smiled: "Then let's go!"

This male monk's opinion was exactly what Zhang Qian wanted, and living with them was also convenient for him to ask them some questions and quickly figure out the situation of the Celestial Star.

The two brothers and sisters stopped what they were doing, put the tools for collecting spiritual ore into the ring, and walked towards Qudingzhou with Zhang Qian.

The male monk smiled: "My name is Wu Yuan, her name is Wu Qi, she is my sister, two years younger than me, we have always lived in Quding Continent, our parents went to the forbidden land with people to find cultivation resources when we were very young, and died inside, since then, our brother and sister have been dependent on each other!"

"Our greatest wish is that one day, we can also cultivate the realm of Danjin Dan and go to live in Glorious City, and we don't have to worry about being oppressed by others!

Zhang Qian smiled and said: "My name is Reverse Yang, I will definitely go to Glorious City, since we are destined, then we will go together and go to Glorious City together, it's not impossible!"

When he came to the Celestial Star, he didn't have any friends and acquaintances, so since he fell in love with this brother and sister, cultivated with them, and went to find cultivation resources together when the time came, it was not impossible.

Zhang Qian took a look at the cultivation talent of this brother and sister, in fact, it was not bad, but it was just that there were no cultivation resources, and at the same time, they had to be squeezed by others, and they collected spirit ore every day, so they couldn't cultivate with peace of mind, so the realm improved very slowly.

With him, the spirit crystals that the two brothers and sisters need to pay every day are definitely not a problem, and they don't have to collect spirit ore every day in the future, they can cultivate with peace of mind, and it won't be long before the realm will quickly improve.
